Net Asset Value and Portfolio Update

Harmony Energy Income Trust plc, which invests in energy storage assets in Great Britain, today announces that its Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 31 October 2022 was 122.77p per ordinary share and 98.45p per C Share.

Highlights

• Ordinary share NAV increased by 5.64% to £257.81 million, or 122.77 pence per ordinary share, up 6.55 pence per ordinary share over the three months from 31 July 2022;

• NAV increase for this quarter is primarily driven by:

a) increased revenue projections - projections have increased by 6% (in NPV terms) compared to previous projections (April 2022); and

b) mark to market valuation of the Company's interest rate swap in relation to its £60m debt facility from NatWest;

• During the period, construction of Pillswood progressed in line with the planned schedule and has now (post 31 October) been successfully energised. As the project was not operational as at 31 October, the discount rate for this project has not been revised in the NAV calculation as at 31 October. A revision will form part of the next NAV calculation;

• The Company remains on track to pay dividends in line with previously stated targets; namely a further 1 pence per ordinary share dividend in December 2022 in addition to the 1 pence per ordinary share paid in July 2022, increasing to 8 pence per ordinary share in 2023;

• In October 2022, the Company issued 14.78 million C Shares at a value of £1 per C Share (the "C Share Issue"). The C Share NAV is £14.54 million (98.45 pence per C Share, taking into account issue costs; and

• The Company expects to acquire 181.9 MW of "shovel ready" pipeline projects (subject to financing and due diligence) by the end of 2022 using the net proceeds of the C Share Issue. Post-acquisition, the Company expects to convert the existing C Shares to ordinary shares.

Portfolio Update

The construction of the Portfolio continues to progress well and the Company is on track to deliver its target returns in 2022 and 2023. As at 31 October, all projects within the Portfolio were categorised as "under construction" and targeting to commence operations in accordance with the table below. The Company expects to acquire 181.9 MW of "shovel ready" pipeline projects (subject to financing and due diligence) by the end of 2022. The Company intends to convert C Shares to Ordinary Shares shortly after acquisition of these three projects.

Market Commentary

The Revenue performance of battery storage assets in Great Britain remains at a higher level than the Company's long-term projections. However the average level of revenue has recently fallen from the historic highs seen in Q3. This is due to a combination of (i) consistent high wind generation across peak demand periods; (ii) low consumer demand due to warmer than expected temperatures; and (iii) high levels of natural gas storage across Europe. 2-hour duration batteries continue to outperform shorter-duration batteries on a £/MW/hr basis, the additional duration providing the opportunity to stack trading and ancillary services. Deployment of new batteries continues to fall short of National Grid Net Zero targets. This combined with continued issues with the French nuclear fleet create a positive near-term outlook for revenues as we move into the winter period.

NAV Update 31 October 2022

As at 31 October 2022, the Company's unaudited NAV is calculated to have increased by 5.64% to £257.81 million (122.77 pence per ordinary share), up 6.55 pence per ordinary share over the three months from 31 July 2022. This increase was largely driven by (a) an increase in revenue projections of 6% (in NPV terms) compared to previous projections (April 2022). A minor revision to the assumed commencement of operations for the Rusholme project slightly offset some of this increase by 0.50 pence per ordinary share. A 10.50% discount rate is applied to all projects (in line with previous guidance for in-construction projects). Although energised during November 2022, the Pillswood project has not be revalued as part of this update. A revision will form part of the next NAV calculation. C Share NAV is £14.54 million (98.45 pence per C Share).
